GIN was inspired by tequila from jcfontain

but i wanted a distributed system with no dedicated server and faster performance.

gin uses udp packets from either

        Tnm by Juergen Schoenwaelder <[email protected]>
        this is currently broken as Tnm Udp Stuff seems
        to have been turned inside out.

or

        TclUDP from Pat Thoyts

Multicast Adresses are used for sending to multiple addresses.

        in my application sensors of any kind send their data
        on a multicast channel.
        Ackknowledges of commands ( to any actor ) are repeated
        on a multicast channel.

Unicast Adresses for sending to a single instance actor.

        in my Applikation Actors of any kind get their data
        from a unicast channel.
